Sadly, this contributor has passed away. Please consider
visiting their Find A Grave memorial page
and leaving some virtual flowers. Their enthusiasm for cemeteries and willingness to help future generations lives on through their contributions to Find A Grave.

Gare passed away on Dec 22, 2009. Gare had a lifelong passion for genealogy and created thousands of memorials on Find A Grave based on obituaries published on the internet.

If you are a relative or family friend of the deceased for one of the memorials Gare created I would be happy to transfer management of the memorial to you.

NOTE: I plan to keep ownership of all memorials to which I am related.

I receive many transfer requests. To simplify the process for me, please make a request by sending an email to findagrave@flyingwomandesigns.com with the following:

- Name of the deceased- A link to the memorial (the link includes the memorial ID)- Your Find A Grave name and contributor ID

Note To Findagrave Volunteers:If you have "adopted" and care for memorials in one or more cemeteries in your area, I would be happy to transfer all memorials that Gare created in those cemeteries to you. Send me an email to findagrave@flyingwomandesigns.com with the following:

- Name of the cemetery- A link to the cemetery (the link includes the cemetery ID)- Your Find A Grave name and contributor ID

January 6, 2013 UpdateI apologize for the delay on transfer requests over the past several months. I am now caught up with my backlog. If you had made a request that was not completed it may have been caught in my spam filter. Please submit the request again.

I created a separate email inbox for Findagrave requests to avoid spam filtering and to keep your request out of the clutter of my regular inbox. Please send all requests to findagrave@flyingwomandesigns.com

Thanks,Paul Allen
